Hi All,
I have a Rogers I747 system Dump uploaded to my drop Box.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5zbwf3fjpimethj/BfgAAhppni
Enjoy!
Awesome, thanks! I've been looking to go back to my Rogers stock (on dietics now), but couldn't find out how. Can I just flash this or does something need to be done to it first?

I am sort of new to this too... I was told by the good people at xda to provide a dump for system... i am sure someone can compile it or something to make it workable.... if anythign is required on my part i will gladly help
Thanks a lot I can'T wait for roms and kernels for my device!
I'd love to flash back to stock rogers as well. Anyone able to make it a flashable .zip?

Do not flash system dump
Hello, everyone.
DO NOT flash the Rogers System Dump, or any system dump for that matter.
It's simply a set of system files from a Rogers unit, which will help developers design a ROM around a Rogers base.
I sent my Rogers system dump to a few developers for this purpose. Hopefully, over the next few days, we'll have a new ROM with all the features of the Rogers ROM, and without the AT&T influence (they have a habit of ruining good features).
If you're looking for a stock Rogers ROM, you'll have to wait.

Do you, or anyone, know if there is a stock.tar rogers firmware floating around? Would be great to provide to the devs here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 so that we can have a root only solution for Rogers.
I wish I knew ...

I'm also looking for such a file. I'd like to have it, just in case.
Peter
P.S. To anyone who knows the answer, what happens if I take an existing custom ROM, for example, the DIET ICS ROM, and overwrite the system files with my Rogers system dump, repack the ZIP file and then flash? Would this work? Would this then become a flashable stock Rogers ROM?
Although I'm quite experienced and familiar with rooting, flashing, etc., this is getting a bit beyond me.
can you post just the modem.. so we can try flashing to at&t and see if we can get the ability to choose 3g/4g /networks thanks.

You're right. I played around with a custom ROM, tried a few tests, and none worked. Fortunately, I did a Nandroid immediately beforehand, so all is well.
I'll wait for a real developer to make a proper ROM.

Anyone want to post steps to do a dump? I've got a Telus model here that's just aching to be helpful to the cause. Although I have already rooted/installed CWM....
I could always just go borrow someone else's for 20 minutes and dump to my SD card though.

To Dump...
go to your command prompt and type
"adb pull /system C:/sgs3/system.img"
C: is your C drive and sgs3 is a folder which you would have to create.
Takes about 15 - 20 minutes and i believe this is a system dump....
I am not sure how to do a modem dump... i guess it would be a folder in there which needs to be pulled.
Rogers Modem
Hello guys,
I followed this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705650 (credits to: UpInTheAir)
And I extracted my Rogers modem!
Here it is! Rogers SGH-i747M Modem DUMP (I747MVLLE8) :good:
Flashable version! modem_CWM_Rogers_i747M.zip
Is it the modem or the ROM that allows LTE toggle on our Canadian I747M (compared to our AT&T neighbors) ? Based on my experience with modem flashing from Nexus S and i9100M, my download and upload speeds, and latency and overall connection stability were affected.
If this modem is flashable, I want to try using AT&T modem to see if I get better connection stability.

I cannot believe AT&T doesn't offer the option to disable LTE. I guess they are after increased data consumption, but at the expense of customer dissatisfaction due to worse battery life...come on! I guess we really don't have it as bad as we think with Rogers.

The i747M is the Canadian model for carriers such as Rogers and Telus
The i747 is for AT&T etc
The ROMs are interchangable, but I think the modems are different. For flashing, you can mix and match in ODIN (however you should keep your i747M modem). Which carrier's SIM card are you using?

He mentioned he's in china, using a canadian modem won't help much.
I'm with Rogers and use the latest modem. Just gotta look for your carrier's modem if you get bad/no reception. And check your APNs of course.
But like Unknown mentioned, I747M and I747 are pretty much the same and ROMs will work on both.

I doubt that chinese is included as these ROMs are for the US/ Canadian markets.
I'd suggest that you keep the stock ROM on the device as is.

Does your current phone work fine with the data-plan on your SIM card? If so, the only think you need to be concerned about is how to flash a new language on the device.
Basic rooting should be able to achieve this.

I'd suggest you use the stock LL1 ROM from the Puerto Rican market. This has NO carrier bloat whatsoever and will flash successfully on your device (i747M).
You would use ODIN to flash this.

I am seriously thinking of getting a M919 but I really hate the slow fw update from carrier.
Does anyone know if I9505 FW will work on M919?
Since the hardware is basically the same, I am thinking if I can just extract the system.img from I9505 and wrap it into the M919 FW. Thanks.
I'm wondering this as well, assuming that the modem and is not flashed.

Exactly. Don't flash the modem or you will end up with a baseband unknown/IMEI = 0.

IIRC Steve Kondik(Cyanogen)'s current personal phone is a M919 (jfltetmo), so there should be a LOT of interesting ROMs coming out shortly.

If you're only interested in official OTAs from Tmo, they will obviously take a while to trickle out.

I am interested in official international ROM but not the official carrier ROM as the international ROM always gets the most updates. So I am looking for a easy port of I9505 FW to M919 since most of the hardware of both devices are the same.

I9505 Rom tested & working for M919 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291523
This is awesome. So this means that if I buy a tmobile GS4 any roms from the international i9505 work for the tmobile version? Since it is the same phone hardware. So this means that when samsung updates the international s4 i9505 we can have those updates too for our tmobile gs4 am i correct? in a custom rom of course you dont want to flash a none tmobile modem... But like on my GS3, the international already have roms from the leak 4.2.2 and due difference in the hardware we cant port those roms but in this case with the GS4 we can...
Am I correct?

depends on how you're trying to go about this. are you trying to build an actual ROM for recovery or TAR for Odin? i'm assuming you're trying to make a ROM. you need just the system.img from that. then pull our cache.img for the csc stuff so you have a signal, etc. then pick a boot.img either from the i9505 FW or from the T-Mob FW. just remember to also grab the respective modules. this is all i've needed to build a full working ROM.

NON-HLOS is another modem file. i believe modem.bin is for standard GSM. NON-HLOS.bin i believe is for LTE. regardless, don't grab either of them from the i9505 FW as they are def modem (Baseband) parts. not sure what tz.mbn is nor aboot.mbn but you don't need them. again you just specifically need system.img components from i9505. you could essentially just pull that and use everything else from T-Mob FW and it will work.

Cool but my point is that all quadcore S4 are the same hardware not the octa cored.. You know samsung updates their international ship first ad there here we have to wait for the carrier.
in this case we dont no more because we can just grab an i9505 rom from their leak updates.
So this phone is really a worldwide phone same hardware. not the octa cored.
People have been saying that this phone is not really that much of an upgrade from the S3 in this case I think it is. It doesnt matter if tmobile takes a while on releasing the newest update you can still get it from any other quadcored phone thats have it..

The CWM flashable are ok to use, just flash a T-Mobile kernel from T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4-> Android Original Development and you'll be fine. Just don't mess with the i9505's Odin stock .tar.md5's (or ANYTHING from the i9500 section); those are the ones that will contain all the good stuff to screw up our precious little phones.
Also, you must not have done much research as this subject has been covered many numerous times; not trying to be rude, just pointing it out.

None of the CWM flashable stock ROMs there have modems. There are modified/stock, debloated stock, and I think if you dig deep enough, there is just plain ole rooted stock; all w/o modem.
Get the omega rom and flash and flash a kernal from the tmobile so wifi can work *faux123 that im using and it for i9505 but on m919

I'm also looking for the US version. That list is horribly designed.
I'm fairly new to samsung tablets and was looking for the english firmware too.
I installed kies and it showed mine as XAR which is cellular south.
Mine ends ends with ANE9, there is one that ends with 7 too.
I've not tried it but I do recall reading somewhere that the US version falls under cellular south. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can confirm.
Hope it helps.
